Allen Meadows Burghound 95

2007 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru) Burghound, 6/15/2010, June 2010, Allen Meadows (web) 95 This is backward, tight and not revealing much aromatically beyond wonderfully pure white flower, pear and spice aromas though the rich, full and strikingly powerful flavors possess superb depth of dry extract and huge length on the detailed, focused, beautifully balanced and penetrating finish that seems to be extracted directly from liquid rock. This is a potentially great Perrières as everything necessary is here and this should age extremely well. The word Zen comes to mind. (drink starting 2019)

John Gilman View from the Cellar 95

2007 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru) View From the Cellar, 1/1/2010, Jan/Feb 2010, John Gilman 96 The 2007 Lafon Meursault “Perrières” is a spectacular young white Burgundy that should prove to be one of the most magical wines made in this exceptional vintage. The bouquet is deep, nascently complex and still quite closed, as it offers up scents of lemon, apple, tangerines, kaleidoscopic minerality, apple blossoms, incipient notes of Meursault nuttiness and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, deep, pure and rock solid at the core, with laser-like focus, a brisk girdle of acidity, magical transparency and a stunningly long, racy and very youthful finish. A great young wine in the making, the 2007 Lafon Perrières should ultimately prove to be one of the greatest wines made by Dominique in his long and illustrious career. (drink 2017-2050)
